STOCKS for the HOLIDAYS
Now, the information that I'm about to share with you, is not top secret. It's actually common sense. When you begin to think like an investor rather than a consumer the strategy that you will learn here, once implemented, will become 2nd nature. Stocks are just like businesses. They have their high periods and they have their low periods, but certain holidays are there to make up for those slow periods. By now, everyone should know that most holidays are commercially marketed for financial gain. But who knows this better than our international corporations and governments.
Most holidays and their dates; religious, memorial, or celebratory were determined by our government or an event that shocked the nation, as well as the world. This means Jesus Christ, was not born on December 25th. But if you think about it, December is usually the coldest time of the year in the northeast. It's the time when most people stay indoors, get depressed, or attempt to save money knowing that their gonna have to pay more for their energy bill. So, what's the best way to get people out of their homes and spend some of that hard-earned money??? By having them spend it on their loved ones, of course!!! After all, isn't it better to give than to receive?!?
1) January (New Year's Eve) It’s a celebration bitches!!! Anybody and everybody are poppin' bottles of
champagne or something during this time of year, but did you ever stop to look and see whose name is on the label? For most of these stocks you'll be looking overseas.
Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessey (LVMH.PK)Remy Cointreau (REMYF.PK)Laurent-Perrier(LPRRF.PK)Diageo plc (DEO)Pernod -Ricard (PDRDF.PK)2) February(Valentine's Day)I love you, baby!!! This is the time of year when the most expensive bouquets(
roses) and tennis bracelets (
jewelry) are bought. How can you forget about that box of
chocolates and that adorable little
teddy bear? And what Valentine's Day gift would be complete without a
card to express your inner most thoughts and feelings.
Hershey(HSY)Imperial Sugar Co.(IPSU)William Wrigley Jr.(WWY)1-800-Flowers.com Inc. (FLWS)Knox Nursery Inc .(KNUR.PK)Griffin Land and Nursery Inc. (GRIF)Calavo Growers. Inc (CVGW)Global Diamond Exch (GBDX.PK)Blue Diamond Venture (BLVD.PK)Petra Diamonds (PDMDF.PK)
Clinton Card PLC ORD (CZZCF.PK)American Greetings Corp.(AM)3) March(St.Patrick's Day)Happy Drunk Day!!! Everybody, grab a cup of some green stuff and get crunked up!!! Have a
shot or a
beer at least. It doesn't matter how long you've been sober. This is the day even infants are allowed to have some
liquor on the nipple of their bottle. And if you don't like the taste of
alcohol, at least grab an O'Douls.
Castle Brands Inc. (ROX)Central European Distribution (CEDC)Constellation Brands Inc. (STZ)Diageo plc (DEO)Drinks Americas Holdings, Ltd. (DKAM.OB)Nascent Wine Co. Inc. (NCTW.OB)Willamette Valley Vineyards In (WVVI)360 Global Wine Company (TSIQE.OB)4) April(Easter, Tax season deadline, 420)April Fools!!! Break out the bunny's eggs and the blunts. Since when did rabbits lay eggs??? Due to this hallucinating hippie holiday, 420,
cigar manufacturers and
tobacco companies have another time of year to look forward to. Also, all of those
accounting firms and
financial institutions maybe a little chaotic for the 1st two weeks, but at the end of the month, there's usually nothing but smiles(ear-to-ear).
Caribbean Cigar Co. (CIGR.PK)Imperial Tobacco Group (ITY)Sears Holdings Corporation (SHLD)[Sears has an H&R Block kiosk inside every store during tax-season]5) May(Cinco de Mayo, Mother's Day)Happy Drunk Day, again!!! This time en espanol. Why does it seem like we celebrate this holiday harder in America than they do in Mexico??? Is it because of the exponentially increasing Mexican population or do we just like the fact that we have another reason to get drunk. So, throwback a
Corona with a
lime or a shot of
tequila. Unfortunately, most of these companies are private and that's either because they don't want to the entire world to turn into alcoholics or they wanna keep the $300 billion a year industry to themselves. Oh yea... don't forget to grab your mother some flowers and a card for next week.

Inc ( CVGW)6) June(Proms, Graduations, Father's Day) Summer is official here!!! So I don't even have to tell you that this is the time when proud fathers who are fortunate enough, bask in their son or daughters glory of commencing into a new phase of their life. For most Dads they'll either be receiving something from Home Depot(
hardware) or a brand new little gadget(
electronics).
Illinois Tool Works Inc. (ITW)Stanley Works (SWK)Tyco Electronics Ltd (TEL)7) July(Independence Day)Somebody pass me a hot dog and a beer!!! Plus, being that global warming is on the rise. Make sure you have the

Hershey (HSY)Imperial Sugar Co. (IPSU)William Wrigley Jr. (WWY)Tootsie Roll.Corp (TR)11) November(Thanksgiving, Black Friday)
Gobble, Gobble, Gobble. Gimme, gimme, gimme. Is this really the best time to save or the best time to spend??? Huge corporations are giving you thanks, before taking it back. This is when the madness really begins and the year really ends. You should've been following for the past 10 months to find out what's hot and what's not for this season. If you have children, they're usually the best indicator... especially the young ones because they're still cute and innocent and still pretty much get whatever they want.
12) December (Hanukkah, Christmas, & Kwanzaa) I really shouldn't have to explain anything about this month. I think I speak for us all when I say," Jesus Christ!" Depending on how this time of year usually is for you. Take it how you want. I'm not gonna drop any stocks for this month. If you haven't learned anything from the past 11months, then my friend I would have to say that the stock game is just not for you.
Nothing in life is guaranteed... except for the fact, "Without water, you'll die!!" But these techniques and strategies have been used by Wall Street stockbrokers, corporate executives, and foreign-trades commissioners, almost flawlessly for decades. Just knowing which stocks to purchase is only half the battle. Knowing when to buy and when to sell is most imperative to achieve maximum financial efficiency. For the optimal times to maximize your profits, the links on the side will give you a precise, accurate, and in-depth timeline for the best potential stocks.
